what are well pumps?
Well pumps are a type of mechanical devices designed to extract water from deep wells or subway water supply. These types of pumps are specifically designed to work in deeper water supply conditions. To operate, they are installed inside the well and work with a drive and suction system.
This type of pump has a submersible electric motor and includes a pumping unit. Its motor generates enough energy to drive the pump and extract the water from the pozos.Por. Finally, the pumping unit creates the water flow thanks to the negative pressure and centrifugal force.
In Intermaquinas we would like to offer this small guide about the main characteristics to take into account for this type of pump in order to choose the one that best suits your needs. Its main important points are the following.
- Submersible capacity: Since this type of pumps are designed to work in wells, it is necessary that they have a great capacity to submerge and can work at great depths.
- Energy efficiency: It is important that these types of pumps consume the least amount of energy to operate because this reduces operating costs in the long term.
- Flow rate and pressure: The most important characteristics are the flow rate and pressure at which the pump can operate. Depending on the depth of the well and amount of water to be extracted, one model or another must be chosen according to these characteristics.
- Protections: Some of the pumps for wells have safety systems such as dry run protection, which automatically stop the pump operation if there is not enough water level, thus avoiding damage to the pump.
- Durability and corrosion resistance: Pumps must be built with durable and corrosion resistant materials due to the large amount of time the pumps spend submerged in water to avoid as much as possible its deterioration by use.
At Intermaquinas we have the largest possible variety and catalog of pumps for wells, specializing in top quality brands while maintaining a competitive price at all times. If you have any questions, our team of experts will be happy to advise you without any obligation, do not hesitate to call us!
